Petroleum-oil burner



UNITED STATESl DAVID E. BANGS, OF MEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS.

PETROLEUMOIL BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 227,472, dated May 11, 1880.

Application led February 27, 1880.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID E. BANGs, of Medford, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Petroleum-0il Burners; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specication, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure l of the drawings is a representation of a cross-sectional view of my improved oil! burner, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same.

This invention has relation to improvements in petroleum-oil burners for heating and cooking purposes; and the nature of the invention consists in the combination, with a reservoir, of au open-ended tube having removable end caps and dame-burners on its top portion,

which permits of the burner being cleaned out without its removal.

It also consists in the combination, with a vessel having lamp-cone burners working in connection therewith and slots in its side wall, of removable draft-conducting passages extending through said slots and directing the atmospheric currents to the point of combustion on said burners.

It also consists in a petroleumburner composed of a vessel having slotted sides, a platform carrying a lamp-cone, a tube extending through the ends of the vessel and provided with burners, and the removable draft-passages extending through the slots of the wall and reaching to the point of combustion of the oil, as hereinafter shown and described.

In the annexed drawings, the letter A designates an oblong metallic vessel having close ends rt, a bent bottom plate, b, and -vertical sides c, provided with longitudinal slots s. The bent bottom plate, b, serves to reflect the heat from the burners to the tube C, and assists in vaporizing the oil therein.

Rising from a horizontal platform, d, in vessel A is the lamp-cone B, extending from end to end thereof, and having the usual slot c at its apex for the passage of the flame.

C indicates a metallic tube extending near the bottom through the ends a, and provided with removable caps f. This tube is provided on its top portion with burners o, and is connected with an oil-reservoir by means of a pipe, g, having at some pointl in its length, between vessel A and the reservoir,`a wire-gauze diaphragm, i, that prevents iiame from being coinmunicat-ed from the burners o to the reservoir when the contents thereof' are all fed to the burner.

In practice the reservoir should be higher than the burner, so as Ito render the feed automatc.

D indicates metallic removable passages, passed sidewise through the slots s and terminating inwardly at the burners o aforesaid. These passages conduct atmospheric air directly to the point of combustion of the oil,

and produce a very strong concentrated draft the draft in the chimney is strong the sliding passages D may be wholly or partly removed, thus regulating the air-supply with great nicety.

When the reservoir is emptied of petroleum by the feeding of its contents to the burners, coke or a tarry residuum collects in the tube C, which may be cleared out by unskilled labor by removing the capsf without detaching the apparatus from the stove.

In practice the vessel A, with its tube C, and, if desired, its platform d, may be cast in one piece, and the ends of the tube C should be sufficiently long to reach through the stovewalls, so that it may be cleaned out without removing the device. A

v`The feeding of air direct to the point of cornbustion insures a very perfect consumption of th'e carbon and prevents soot from being deposited in the stove and fines.

Having thus described my invention, what l claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In an oil-burner for cooking and heating purposes, the combination, with a reservoir and an oblongvessel connected therewith and provided with thelamp-cone B, of the tube C, provided with burners o, and removable end caps, f, and extending through the end walls of said vessel, substantially as specified.
